ElektrogitarreElectric guitar
Datum / Date 17.07.1992/ti.Date / Date 17.07.1992/ti.
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Massivkorpus-Elektrogitarre, mit einem an einem Massivkorpus mittels Schrauben befestigten Hals und einer Magnetspule zur Tonabnahme.The invention relates to a solid body electric guitar, with a neck attached to a solid body by means of screws and a magnetic coil for sound pickup.
Es ist bekannt und üblich, den Hals von Massivkorpus-Elektrogitarren mittels Schrauben an dem Massivkorpus zu befestigen. Durch den konstanten Pressdruck soll ein markanter Einschwingimpuls der Saiten und eine gewisse Tiefe im Ton erzielt werden. Bei diesen Elektrogitarren ist es jedoch von Nachteil, daß eine Simulation eines Akustikgitarrenklangs nicht möglich ist, die eine stärkere Betonung des Anschlags erfordert. Bei den bekannten Elektrogitarren ist es ferner üblich, die zur Tonabnahme verwendeten Magnetspulen durch Wechsel der Magnetpolung und Art und Weise der Drahtumwicklung auf die Charakteristika Hochpaß, Breitband und Tiefpaß festzulegen.It is common and usual to attach the neck of solid-body electric guitars to the solid body using screws. The constant pressure is intended to produce a distinctive transient response from the strings and a certain depth in the sound. However, the disadvantage of these electric guitars is that it is not possible to simulate the sound of an acoustic guitar, which requires a stronger emphasis on the attack. It is also common for the well-known electric guitars to set the magnetic coils used for sound pickup to the characteristics of high-pass, wide-band and low-pass by changing the magnetic polarity and the type of wire winding.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Massivkorpus-Elektrogitarre so auszubilden, daß durch Verstärkung des Einschwingimpulses eine Akustikgitarre simuliert werden kann und gleichzeitig das Übertragungsverhalten verbessert wird.The object of the invention is to design a solid-body electric guitar in such a way that an acoustic guitar can be simulated by amplifying the transient impulse and at the same time the transmission behavior is improved.
Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Lösung der Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausge-According to the invention, the object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments

staltungen der Erfindung werden in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.Embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
Nach der Erfindung ist es möglich, den Anschlag weit stärker zu betonen als bei bekannten Massivkörper-Elektrogitarren. Durch die zwischen Korpus und Hals eingeschobene Abstandsplatte aus Metall wird die Stärke des Einschwingimpulses um ein Vielfaches erhöht, wodurch das Impulsverhalten einer Akustikgitarre simuliert werden kann. Durch die besondere Auslegung der Magnetspule ist es ferner möglich, eine Hochpaß-Charakteristik auszuschließen, was zur Erzeugung der für Akustikgitarren typischen Resonanz mit Übertragung der Baßfrequenzen im Ton erforderlich ist. Die Position und Charakteristik der Magnetspule wird hierbei der Bauart der Elektrogitarre angepaßt. Für bundierte gitarrenartige Instrumente wird vorzugsweise eine Magnetspule mit einer Breitband-Charakteristik eingesetzt. Für bundlose violenartige Instrumente finden dagegen Magnetspulen mit einer Tiefpaß-Charakteristik Anwendung. Bei den bundierten Instrumenten wird die Magnetspule ferner vorzugsweise in einer Lage von 1/4,6 der Mensur positioniert, bei bundlosen Instrumenten dagegen in einer Lage von 1/6,7. Während durch den Einschub der Abstandsplatte aus Metall zwischen Korpus und aufgeschraubtem Hals der Einschwingimpuls verstärkt und damit das Impulsverhalten verbessert wird, ermöglicht die optimierte Anordnung der Magnetspule eine Verbesserung des Übertragungsverhaltens.According to the invention, it is possible to emphasize the attack much more strongly than with known solid-body electric guitars. The metal spacer plate inserted between the body and neck increases the strength of the transient impulse many times over, which allows the impulse behavior of an acoustic guitar to be simulated. The special design of the magnetic coil also makes it possible to exclude a high-pass characteristic, which is necessary to generate the resonance typical of acoustic guitars with the transmission of bass frequencies in the sound. The position and characteristics of the magnetic coil are adapted to the design of the electric guitar. For fretted guitar-like instruments, a magnetic coil with a broadband characteristic is preferably used. For fretted violin-like instruments, on the other hand, magnetic coils with a low-pass characteristic are used. For fretted instruments, the magnetic coil is also preferably positioned at a position of 1/4.6 of the scale length, whereas for fretless instruments it is positioned at a position of 1/6.7. While the insertion of the metal spacer plate between the body and the screwed-on neck amplifies the transient impulse and thus improves the impulse behavior, the optimized arrangement of the magnetic coil enables an improvement in the transmission behavior.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend am Beispiel der in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert. Es zeigtThe invention is explained in more detail below using the example of the embodiments shown in the drawings. It shows

Bei der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Elektrogitarre 1 ist in dem Korpus 4 eine Ausnehmung 6 ausgebildet. In diese Ausnehmung 6 wird bei Montage des Halses 5 auf dem Korpus 4 eine Abstandsplatte 7 aus Metall gelegt. Der Hals 5 wird dann mittels Schrauben 8 auf die Abstandsplatte 7 gepreßt und damit mit dem Korpus 4 verbunden.In the electric guitar 1 shown in Fig. 1, a recess 6 is formed in the body 4. A metal spacer plate 7 is placed in this recess 6 when the neck 5 is mounted on the body 4. The neck 5 is then pressed onto the spacer plate 7 using screws 8 and thus connected to the body 4.
Die Anordnung der Magnetspulen 14 für die Verbesserung des Übertragungsverhaltens ist schematisch in den Fig. 2 bis 5 dargestellt. Fig. 2 zeigt ein bundiertes gitarrenartiges Instrument 9, in dessen Korpus 4 ein Gitarrenschalloch 13 ausgebildet ist. Bei dem bundierten gitarrenartigen Instrument 10 nach Fig. 3 ist die Magnetspule 14 auf dem Korpus 4 angeordnet und befindet sich entsprechend des Gitarrenschallochs 13 in einer Höhe von 1/4,6 der Mensur. Diese Magnetspule 14 weist eine Breitbandcharakteristik auf. Bei dem bundlosen violenartigen Instrument 11 ist ebenfalls jeweils eine Magnetspule 14 vorgesehen, die aber eine Tiefpaßcharakteristik aufweist. Diese Magnetspule 14 ist entsprechend der Unterkante des Violengriffbrettes in einer Höhe von 1/6,7 der Mensur angeordnet und somit tiefer gelegt als bei dem bundierten gitarrenartigen Instrument 10.The arrangement of the magnetic coils 14 for improving the transmission behavior is shown schematically in Fig. 2 to 5. Fig. 2 shows a fretted guitar-like instrument 9, in whose body 4 a guitar sound hole 13 is formed. In the fretted guitar-like instrument 10 according to Fig. 3, the magnetic coil 14 is arranged on the body 4 and is located at a height of 1/4.6 of the scale length corresponding to the guitar sound hole 13. This magnetic coil 14 has a broadband characteristic. In the fretless violin-like instrument 11, a magnetic coil 14 is also provided, but this has a low-pass characteristic. This magnetic coil 14 is arranged at a height of 1/6.7 of the scale length corresponding to the lower edge of the violin fingerboard and is thus lower than in the fretted guitar-like instrument 10.
